The win finished off a successful final season for the team under first-year coach Brandon Krug, who is a 2002 PAHS graduate. Krug had spent the previous three years coaching ninth-grade girls' basketball in DuBois before coming back to Punxsutawney.

"Being a young coach, I was worried that the players may not take me seriously as a coach. But these guys really bought into what I had to say and really worked hard all season long," Krug said. "With continued hard work throughout the summer, I think the future is really bright for these guys."
